Potato Chips | Israel attempts to fry with no oil

On October 31, 2011, the Israeli Administration got a strong reminder that reality is not as portrayed by the pro-Zionist mainstream media. The Palestinian image aggressively pushed by the BBC, CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post and countless others Walsinghamian media outlets, crumbled under the overwhelming vote in favor of Palestine at UNESCO, where Palestine was recognized as an independent state. As reported in US Enters UN Alley, other UN agencies would soon accept Palestine on equal terms. Moreover, the UN Security Council must answer Palestine petition to join the General Assembly as an independent state. Yet, the pro-Zionist media keeps analyzing reality under an obsolete set of constrains. One of them is of special interest.

For years, these propagandists claim – openly or by implication – that Palestinian independence would be the result of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. The idealized image is of an Israeli president magnanimously handing an independence letter to a solemn Palestinian leader. They’ll secretly wink at each other. Both would win a Peace Nobel Prize and drink champagne while their people go on slaving for them.

That’s a farce. The King of England didn’t give independence to the USA. South American countries hadn’t been recognized by Spain or years after they declared independence from it (that is before they became de facto US-colonies). The recent recognition of Southern Sudan by Sudan as soon as the last declared independence is the exception to the rule.

Since the first significant accord between Israel and the Palestinians – the Oslo Accords of September 13, 1993 – Palestinians have played an odd game with Israel. There were advances and deceptions. Years in which optimism ruled and years when violence conquered hope. Palestinians – led by the PLO – complied with the rules set by Israel. This wasn’t surprising. Israel gave control over the civilian affairs of the Palestinian people to a small group of people, who all of the sudden where interested in keeping the status quo, and were even trained by the Shin Beth. The PLO practically became an odd subordinate-department of the last.

This situation couldn’t continue for long. The Palestinian Authority is formally part of the Israeli Administration (as the Israeli Postal Authority is; this was the reasoning Rabin used to sell the Oslo Accords to Israeli citizens) and thus it doesn’t provide a viable solution for the Palestinians. The Palestinian people demand an independent state. Yet, the PLO led Palestinian Authority played a delay game for the sake of its Zionist employers.

Then, in 2007 Hams managed to conquer – via democratic elections - an important stronghold: Gaza. This shattered the champagne glasses merrily held by Israel and the PLO. Ever since, Hamas adopted clearer positions than the PLO regarding Palestinian independence. Moreover, the recent reactions of Islamic Jihad have made sure Hamas wouldn’t be able to further compromise with Israel without endangering its leadership. The Islamic Jihad is ready to lead. Eventually, even the mellow PLO surrendered to the people’s power and filed for independence at the UN General Assembly and several of its agencies. UNESCO was the first agency to accept and now things look bright for Palestine, though PLO officers are worried about their pensions.

However, not only the Zionist champagne glasses were shattered by the voting at UNESCO; the entire world has seen Palestine being accepted as an independent country - as so many countries before it - without the acceptance of the colonialist entity ruling it, namely Israel. Israel’s largest bargaining chip had been offhandedly eaten by UNESCO, without even adding salt^*. Bon apetite!

^*In Hebrew, “eating something without salt” is a euphemism for an “easy target.”
